Fretboard taper
March 1 2012, 6:57 PM
The peghead is almost done. I'm taking a break from cleaning it up to see chunky progress elsewhere.
Here's our first good look at the fretboard. It's Macassar ebony with maple purfling and Koa binding. The Koa's not as red as it looks here. It's more of a rich brown. I haven't been awesome in a while, so hopefully I tapered the right end and left enough wood.
Next up: clean the bandsawed edges and glue on the trim.
